GEDCOM X Milestone 1

Next Phase, New Rules

The purpose of the milestone release is to stabilze the specification set so we can move to the next
phase of development. The focus of the next phase will be specifically on documentation and developer
tools. This includes "non-normative" tutorials, use cases, and recipes as well as the development
of open-source libraries for the most popular platforms.

There might also be some edits to the specifications, but any changes from this point will be
backwards-compatible changes. These kinds of changes include any textual errors or clarifications, but
we are also open to adding any new properties that we might have missed, as long as the improvements
don't require any semantic or syntactic adjustments.

The point is: any new contributions to the project, whether it be in the form of open-source libraries
or reference documentation, can be provided with a reasonable degree of confidence that they won't soon become
outdated. It's really hard to implement a moving target.
